I love collecting travel souvenirs but I am very particular about it. Keychains, miniature models or stickers will not be among those. What’s their use anyway? What’s the point of giving that to someone who hasn’t been to the country?
I want my travel souvenirs to be much more personal. Once a friend had to cancel our Shakespeare trip to London and I decided to buy her a candy bar that had a Shakespeare quote on it, so she still had a piece of the trip but nothing to remind her of missing out for long.
Generally, I love giving food. But here are some more suggestions. (And if you would exceed your luggage limit, you could order them from Amazon.)
